Burras get double chance

A final round win was enough for Diggers Rest to finish third and secure a double chance in the Riddell District Netball League.

Facing Wallan, which started the final round in third spot, the Burras were able to build throughout the match.

After scores were level at quarter time, the Burras opened up a six goal lead at half time.

They were able to increase that in the second half, to seal a 41-29 win.

Amy Starzer scored 27 goals for the Burras.

The result means the Burras move ahead of the Magpies into third spot.

The Burras will face Woodend-Hesket in the first week of the finals.

Woodend-Hesket, which will play A-grade finals for the first time, had no issue at all against Romsey.

The Redbacks were held goalless in the first quarter and trailed by 30 at half time. The Hawks continued on their merry way in the second half, winning 71-17.

The Hawks were able to share the goals around, while Emma Grech shot the majority of the Redbacks, with 15.

Macedon had a hard fought contest against the Western Rams.

The Cats trailed at half time, before 30 goals to 18 in the second half to get the 47-39 win.

Shanae Brundell shot 42 goals for the Cats.

Rebecca Hicks, who hasn’t played for the Rams since early in the season, scored 27 goals.

The Cats, who finished on top of the ladder, will have a week off in the first week of the finals.

Riddell rounds out of the top five after a massive win against Lancefield.

Having all but secured a finals spot before the final round, the Bombers had a dominant display against the Tigers.

The Bombers got the win, 67-27. Shelby Holter scored 52 goals for the Bombers.

The Bombers face Wallan in an elimination final in the first week of finals.
